Sadly due to traffic I missed the boat by a minute I had checked how long it would take to get there when planning my leave time and I was quoted 45 every time when I was staying only 25 miles away however traffic was crazy and it ended up being an hour and a half drive we pulled into parking at exactly 1745 and the boat was pulling out as I was running to it. Gave a rating of Good because the boat left exactly on time and if I had been on board that would have been great

On 12/19/23 I went on Star of Honolulu, and participated in the Pacific Star Buffet Package. Finding the boat was easy due to it's large size. Walking up we were greeted by real hula dancers, that really set the vibe for the evening. Upon boarding the ship there was staff along the way that assisted in finding your section.
The ship is very large in size, and was so much fun to explore. The top deck was my favorite part, but definitely bring a sweater it can get a bit chilly! I recommend visiting the top deck as the sun is setting for your perfect kodak moment on the water, and once again when it gets' dark to see the beautiful city lights, and view of Diamond Head Crater.
The severs were very studious, and genuine when checking on our table. The buffet line went very quickly, hardly a wait at all! The food was delicious, with many options for all dietary needs. Being mainly plant based I was impressed by all the plant based sides, my favorite was the tofu salad! They even have a vegan patty upon request.
The show, and production was very engaging for the whole family. If you are traveling with a large group including children, I recommend the Pacific Star package there is something for everyone!

My wife and I enjoyed the sunset cruise. Although it was an issue or two, they should try to be resolved the last time I took the cruise. I was able to be out on the outside on the deck at the sunset. Got to take some amazing pictures . This time we are in line for the buffet when is sunset. I think the time should be adjusted if the time is earlier when the sun sets. The whole purpose of a sunset cruise is to be able to watch the sunset and not be called to the buffet table to get your meal. My wife really enjoyed the Buffay food. She said it was very good as a picky eater. She ate a little bit of everything and enjoyed it.
I will verify the timing of other cruises before I would take the cruise again as the whole purpose was to be able to watch the sun set

There were 2-3 Japanese people, but it was a great multicultural experience and became a wonderful memory. Watching the fireworks right in front of us was absolutely fantastic.
日本人は2-3名でしたが多国籍感満載で参加していい思い出になりました。

Pick-up was perfect, complimentary Mai Tai was lovely, but the sunset was hard to savour in the middle of queuing, collecting food and eating! The food was okay.
We chose the trip for the sunset and traditional dancing, but the dancing was evidently lovely BUT hard to see as the girls were not raised up and one needed to look round other people and tables.
We had a nice wander to the top of the boat which was great! BUT the ‘entertainment’ was done by a guitarist who couldn’t sing above a certain pitch and girls who followed his very out of tune singing. I suppose the other passengers got up and took part, as they felt that was expected but we found that part excruciating!
Overall not worth the money.

The ride on the catamaran at mild temperatures with nice people and free soft drinks was very romantic. The price-performance ratio is right.
However, a certain degree of mobility is required to get on and off the boat.
Unfortunately the music is too loud. You have to like that.

Ruined by 3 drinking moms. There was an announcement to refrain from standing on the benches. 3 drinking moms stood as soon as the fireworks started and blocked our view. None of the crew reminded them to sit so others could enjoy the fireworks. The fireworks were not very high as they are for other shows I have been to. The captain could have turned the boat so they were not in the front towards the fireworks and give others a chance to see. The crew was nice, played music, and appeared to want everyone to have a good time.

Great cruise, all staff, especially our service assistant, were extremely pleasant, professional, and efficient. A very good buffet with carved roast beef, delicious chicken and fish, everything. Fireworks show a bit difficult. In order to see it well people had to run to one side of the ship, not only tilting the ship a bit but making it even more difficult for people who didn't want to dash to the side to see. This was only a minor observation.

The perfect sunset cruise! Beautiful view of Honolulu. Great buffet and great crew. Great live music and Luau performance. Nice experience to share with family and friends.
Dinner food was superb also, you get a free drink (Mai Tai) on the house.
The top deck is a great spot for pictures and videos of sunset and Waikiki Beach.
We had such a Great time.

When boarding, it's better to wear sandals and shorts as your feet might get a little wet. There’s no roof, so you can enjoy the open air, and the ride is a bit wild with loud music playing, allowing you to fully experience a sense of adventure. When the fireworks are going off, there are no lights or sound inside the boat, but for a short time, you can enjoy the fireworks from the deck. You might want to bring a small towel, as your feet will get wet and sandy when disembarking.
乗船の際に少し足が濡れるので、サンダルでショートパンツで行った方が良いです。
屋根が無いので開放感があり、運転も少しワイルドで、音楽もガンガンかかってて、非日常感を十分味わえると思います。
花火が打ちあがっている時は船内の照明や音響もなく、短い時間ではありますが船上の花火を楽しめました。
下船時に足が濡れて砂まみれになるので、小さいタオルなど持参した方が良いかもしれません。

The package was exactly as described online. The meet up spot was very easy to find. The boat provided amazing views of the fireworks with fun music. The entire experience was about an hour and the workers on the boat were awesome. Drinks were also included, but honestly I did not find them to taste that great. Otherwise, this package was absolutely worth the money and I would definitely do it again!

The staff at the Outrigger's Holokai Catamaran were very pleasant, and once we set sail, the crew's service was also wonderful. We enjoyed the swells on the yacht while sipping rum mixed with passion fruit juice.
Around 7:30, the fireworks from the Hilton began, and we got more cocktails from the all-you-can-drink option, which added to the excitement.
As Japanese people, we might be a bit shy, but we enjoyed the cheerful and lively atmosphere created by the Western guests.
It became a very good memory. Thank you!
アウトリガーのホロカイカタマラン受付スタッフの対応が感じ良くて、出航すると、船頭?さんたちの対応が、また、素晴らしく、ヨットで波によるうねりを楽しみながら、ラム酒のパッションフルーツジュース割りをいただきました。
7時半過ぎ位から、ヒルトンの花火が始まり、飲み放題のカクテルをおかわりして、盛り上がりました。
我々日本人は恥ずかしがり屋かもしれませんが、西洋人の方々の陽気で明るい、多騒ぎを楽しませてもらいました。
とても良い思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。
